In [[Just Intonation]], '''5/4''' is the frequency ratio between the 5th and 4th harmonics. Measuring about 386.3[[cent|¢]], it is about 13.7¢ away from [[12edo]]'s major third of 400¢. It has a distinctive "sweet" sound, and has been described as more "laid back" than its 12edo counterpart. Providing a novel consonance after 3, it is the basis for [[5-limit]] harmony. It is distinguished from the [[Pythagorean]] major third of [[81/64]] by the syntonic comma of [[81/80]], which measures about 21.5¢. 81/64 and 5/4 are both just intonation "major thirds," 81/64 having a more active and discordant quality, 5/4 sounding more "restful". | In [[Just Intonation]], '''5/4''' is the frequency ratio between the 5th and 4th harmonics.
